The double bedroom is large, romantic and offers fabulous views across an open valley of fields and woods; for the children there is an exciting nautical themed bedroom with (safety railed) bunk-beds. There are books and games and DVD's and plenty of lawns and adventure play equipment. The Byre has its own, railed decking area with table and chairs and lawned area for gentle play. There is plenty of safe off-road, gated parking. Ideal for families and equally enjoyed by couples.

* NB re wi-fi:

* Please note re: Wifi

We live in a relatively isolated area. The data speed that BT can provide is 1mpbs and so we have paid to have satellite broadband installed, which we share with our guests. We pay £79 per month for 100gb of data and connection speeds of around 10mpbs. Its pretty good most of the time for web surfing, email and viewing compressed video clips and so can help our guests plan their outings.

However,It is pretty useless for online gaming - as the latency is around 900ms, which is the time it takes for a signal to go up to the satellite and back...so by the time you shoot someone online - they have left the room and had breakfast.

So...if you have teenagers who are addicted to their ipads and phones please be aware that our 100gbs allowance will last them 5 mins and then its back to basic email and browsing for all of us!

So - Yes there is wifi - but not High Speed Broadband that your teenagers may be used to. We just can't have that where we live. What we have is lovely accommodation and beautiful scenery, plus Owls, Badgers, Bats, Buzzards, Deer, Hares, Rabbits and our own Chickens and a lovely rough collie named Jessie.

About the neighbourhood

Tregear is in the middle of the countryside, a lovely valley with woods and cows grazing, streams and fields of crops; the lane is very quiet - a few vehicles an hour, and the gardens and decks offer tranquility and wonderful fresh air. A half hour walk away is Ladock with its highly rated pub, The Falmouth Arms with great home cooked local food, local beers and ciders and a historic church. The lanes are quiet, interlaced and offer access to woodland and streams. A car is essential to enjoy your visits further afield. The A30 is 3 miles north and the A390 5 miles south - these are the main Cornwall road arteries. Both coasts are easily reached and they vary from the traditional seaside resort of Perranporth, sophisticated Lusty Glaze to the wild and tranquil Holywell on the North coast,...

The A30 is 3 miles north and the A390 5 miles south - these are the main Cornwall road arteries. Both coasts are easily reached and they vary from the traditional seaside resort of Perranporth, sophisticated Lusty Glaze to the wild and tranquil Holywell on the North coast, to the secluded, peace of tiny coves at Portholland or Portlooe. You can choose between estuaries to fish and potter in to the south; surf schools and coasteering to the north.Our previous guests have been full of praise for how well placed we are to tour the county. Nearer attractions are Truro, Perranporth, Megavissy and St Austell, the lovely Roseland Peninsula is a short distance (most attractively accessed via the King Harry Ferry) but Tintagel can be visited in a couple of hours as can Land's End or the Lizard, Looe, Fowey and St Ives. Families can enjoy the Lappa Valley Railroad, Dairyland and Hendra Water park all within 5 miles. The Eden project is a half hour's journey and The lost Gardens of Heligan even less. You can look at the wind direction and surf report and be at Fistral beach in half an hour or at sheltered Pentewan Sands in forty. Truro has a theatre, cinema, covered and outdoor markets, lots of local food outlets, museum, quaint local and chain store shopping and lots and lots of places to eat and drink, from local fish restaurants, modern bistros, a cake cafe! and a wide choice of world cuisines - we offer suggestions for local dining, attractions and shops in our guide to the area. Tregear is handy for all that Cornwall does best and all its many devotees return each year for. We are very happy to be welcoming people back for their third visit in the three years we have been open.

Getting around

We are on a quiet country lane, with glorious views, in the middle of fields , hills, woods and streams. The villages of Trispen and Ladock in either direction are about one and a half miles: Ladock has a lovely pub with real ales and great food.A car is essential for a full enjoyment of your stay and makes the most of our situation in the centre of Cornwall as an ideal touring base.We are also only 5 minutes from the A39 and 10 from the A 30, Cornwall’s main road which runs from Devon to Land’s End. Consequently most of Cornwall’s attractions are only 20 to 45 minutes away.Truro has a mainline railway station and Newquay airport, only 25 minutes from here, both with car hire.Our nearest ferry port is Plymouth 81km away.

The barn is situated only 3.4 miles south of The A30 at Carland Cross, easily accessible from the main Cornwall highway - much of this is dual carriageway from Exeter, and from there are links to the M5 and the country's motorway network. The ferry port of Plymouth is only just over an hour away and the roads are all good A-roads, much of it dual carriageway. Similarly the Airport at Newquay is well served with road and bus links to the A30. Car hire is available at the airport. The main line train from London, Paddington operates about 4 direct services a day to Penzance, stopping at Truro and Truro has several car-hire companies. National Express coaches run to both Truro and Newquay and there are regular local bus services to Trispen. We would definitely recommend a car or cycles i...
